[arch-general] systemd fails to set console font
Hello, systemd is not setting my console font. The following is the only relevant config I could think of: /etc/vconsole.conf :
KEYMAP=dvorak FONT=ohsnap6x11r
Using the command
setfont ohsnap6x11r works perfectly to change the font to that desired.
Cheers, pants.

Did you try to put dvorak and ohsnap6x11r withing double quotes? I have FONT="ter-v16b" set in /etc/vconsole.conf and works fine.

I just tried that, to no avail. pants.

This is a known problem, and I don't have a good general solution. The problem is (I think), that your font is set before your graphics driver has been loaded, and once the graphics driver has been loaded the settings are lost. Essentially what needs to happen is that systemd-vconsole-setup.service must be run after the graphics driver has been loaded. Three ways to do this: 1) put your graphics driver in MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf. 2) put your graphics driver in /etc/modules-load.d/graphics.conf and order systemd-vconsole-setup.service After systemd-modules-load.service. 3) order systemd-vconsole-setup.service After and Wants systemd-udev-settle.service. Option 2) probably is the best as it has the least impact on boot speed (I guess). -t
2) put your graphics driver in /etc/modules-load.d/graphics.conf and order systemd-vconsole-setup.service After systemd-modules-load.service.
Excuse my ignorance, but how does one order the loading of units at boot? pants.
